About Matt
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience, Matt Youngberg focuses on relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, anger, and self-esteem. Matt blends direct feedback with practical tools. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as core approaches to help people change patterns that get in the way of their goals.
Matt describes his style as straightforward and goal oriented. He aims to identify core problems quickly and move toward practical steps. He challenges clients to develop greater awareness and to apply new skills between sessions.
Before becoming an LPC, Matt worked as an offenders counselor and in community mental health. He also spent more than a decade as an educator. Those roles inform his focus on clear communication and skill teaching rather than long, open-ended exploration.
He pulls techniques from different methods where they fit the client. That means sessions often include behavioral experiments, thought work, and learning emotion regulation skills. Sessions are structured and focused on measurable progress over time.
Outside of his clinical work, Matt enjoys games, athletics, and volunteer work at Life.Church. He frames therapy as practical work people do together to change specific patterns and problems that cause stress in daily life.

How CBT and DBT shape online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active. In practice this means setting goals, trying small behavioral experiments, and reviewing what worked. CBT is useful for patterns tied to relationships, self-esteem, and everyday coping.DBT teaches specific emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Sessions using DBT techniques often include skills training, practicing grounding methods, and learning ways to handle intense feelings without acting on them. This approach supports work on anger, intense reactions, and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Expect a mix of skill teaching, thought work, and problem-focused exercises tailored to your needs.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow focused check-ins between obligations. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and how to use skills practice between meetings to get the most from remote sessions.
